The Ministry of Public Infrastructure (MPI) on Monday said that the Consultancy Services for the Design of the East Bank – East Coast Road Linkage Project (Diamond to Ogle) began on April 13, 2018 with the executing agency being RITES Ltd., an Indian public sector company.
The consultancy will last 10 months and the cost is US$1.321M. India is expected to fund the road linkage.
A release from MPI said that the design will serve to reduce congestion and traffic delays by providing commuters with an alternative route bridging the East Coast and East Bank corridors. This will also alleviate traffic congestion within the city.
